A member asked:

I have to have a colonoscopy and my doctor said to do a salt enema, what is it exactly and do i buy it from the pharmacist?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ask your doctor: Any gastroenterologist who is going to do colonoscopy will provide your instructions for colon clean up which includes laxatives and enemas. So ask him/her or his office staff. They will either give you a bag of medicines or write you a prescription indicating the names of the laxatives/enema salt, included.
